More About David_Michaels

Grew up on a farm, moved to the city and the garage bands started...then I took off in the US Air Force after high school basically and returned home after 9 years being gone. I started an open mic, then had a few bands, but decided in 2013 to go it alone for a while as the late nights were kicking my butt plus raising a little boy is really not possible staying out late and feeling like crap the next day. Not conducive to raising children at all! Here I am now, turning a few busking days and solo performances while maintaining my day job (thankfully and I'm blessed to do so). Enjoy my twist on the music and please visit often. There are some great musicians on Streetjelly!

Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

Playing to some bums downtown and started in on some soul music and they started dancing then tipping me. Yes, bums tipping me. Then at the end of my performance, they wanted their money back. HA!

Embarrassing Moment

Live, just getting started to perform solo, just cracked open a beer (I don't drink anymore!), had my guitar in my hand not yet strapped on and went to sit down on my new bar stool to start playing. I missed the bar stool and it toppled over and I fell in front of a whole bunch of biker friends but my guitar never hit the floor. I held it up during my fall to my back. They looked at me like I had been drinking but I hadn't. They told me to slow down on the beers. Ha! I had had only one sip! New faces, new gig, new opportunity and I fell. Well, they liked my music so much that they invited me back the next year for their annual event and we all had a blast and some laughs.

My Instrument

Acoustic guitar. I go through guitars so I can't name them. I named my car though, Layla!
